ORIGIN

This 1958 BMW Isetta 300 was purchased by the selling dealer six months ago and is powered by a 298cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox with reverse. This Isetta is finished in red with a tan canvas top over a cream interior. The seller notes a recent 4k service that included repairing the brakes and fitting new tires. The car has reportedly remained on the West coast its entire life and is described as being an unrestored driver. It is now being offered by the selling dealer with a 1963 California black plate and a clean transferable Arizona title.

According to the seller, this Isetta retains its original paint finish, and body panels. The exterior features a tan roll-up canvas top, and a pair of frog-eyed headlamps. The gas cap is missing from several gallery photos, although the correct cap will be included in the sale.

The seller notes four holes in the body where the original roof-rack was removed. The brakes have been serviced, and new 10″ tires were fitted on all four corners.

The interior features a front hinged door, sliding windows, two side mirrors, a tan vinyl roll-back sunroof, electric wipers, and a heater. The 6,543 miles shown on the odometer are not believed accurate.

The 298cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine was rated at 13hp and 14 lb-ft or torque when new. BMW sourced the engine from motorcycle production, and increased the bore, stroke, and compression ratio. A recent 4k service is claimed to have been carried out by the current owner in preparation of the sale.

The chassis plate can be seen above.
